Acro

[jeremy&nancy 0]

Hi, we are trying to get my spouse ( beneficiary) Acro police certificate online but encountered a postion when asked to provide criminal history. My spouse had a DUI over 10 yrs ago and couldnt remember the exact dates of result/outcome. We cant find his paper file anymore and have asked local police/court to obtain this detail but was told they cannot release or have this informations and was redirected to do subject access report. 

Now our question is has anybody been in same situation and have requested acro police certificate with an estimate dates of previous criminal conviction portion? We are pretty sure acro would see this during their process anyway. 

 

thanks

With a conviction he needs a police certificate and a Subject Access Report. Many police certificates with hidden, expired, or stepped down offences will come back saying “No Live Trace”. For the US to see the full offence, the Subject Access Report is needed. It takes longer to get.

 

I have seen others who only ordered the SAR being told at the interview they needed a police certificate too is why I said both.  And it seems some PCs now come back with offences when you specify it is for immigration. I slight change to the process maybe? You might want  to see what your PC says before getting the SAR. I’m just giving you all I know that has been posted in this forum over a dozen years. 
 

Also with a DUI, expect the medical exam to delve into addiction part of mental health section. They likely will give a test of alcohol so be free of that to help exam go better.
